Currently on view: Outside The Frameline: Behind the Scenes with San Francisco Chronicle photographer Santiago Mejia, a former CCSF journalism student, the editor in chief and photo editor of CCSF’s The Guardsman newspaper, is on view at City College’s Front Page Gallery in the Journalism Department. Check out photos from the opening reception here.

The exhibit showcases the work of a daily photojournalist, where they have to be ready at a moment’s notice for breaking news, features, portraits and sports. A photographic collection in this exhibit will include breaking news from the Sonoma County floods to wildfires, as well as memorable sports moments like the Warriors’ championship runs and sports figures using their platform for activism.

This exhibit is presented by CCSF Journalism Department and Front Page Gallery
